Abstract:
Urbanization in India has intensified environmental health challenges, creating a critical need to integrate health considerations into city planning. We conducted a comprehensive literature mapping on the intersection of urban planning and environmental health in India. By employing bibliometric analysis on 511 articles from both global and Indian sources, we identified key thematic areas, gaps, and opportunities. We highlighted the importance of land-use distribution, air quality, and green spaces as significant factors influencing public health in Indian cities. Additionally, the study reveals a lack of comprehensive research addressing the multifaceted health risks posed by rapid urbanization and environmental degradation in India. Through thematic mapping, we identified underexplored areas in the literature, particularly the need for more integrative frameworks to address environmental health risks within urban planning in India. The findings are to provide insights for policymakers and urban planners to design and maintain resilient and health-promoting cities.
